CE3K Grumman Avengers

Tue Feb 13, 2007 4:55 pm

Can anyone tell me about the Grumman Avengers used
in the 1977 UFO film Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
In particular I'm looking for BuNo.'s, owners etc.

Cheers

One was the CAF's, with #82 on the cowl and another was actually an F6F Hellcat only used in the headon view.
